Definately Odelia. I love it because it's a classic name from Shakespeare. And I love the nn Odie. I also like the DEE in it better than a-DAH-lee-ah or ada-LIE-ah...

I best like the sound of Adalia pronounced the "LIE" way, though English-speakers aren't likely to intuit that pronunciation. I don't think they'll intuit "DAH" either, but rather say "a-da-LEE-uh", so you'd have to correct people. I have the same situation with Sophia which, in my family, is "so-FIE-uh" but I love it enough to use it anyway and deal with correcting people.

Adalia is very beautiful :) Odelia doesn't sound as nice as Adalia, although it's pretty too.

Adalia definitely. Looks and sounds nicer to me.
